The hardest thing you ever do is love yourself that gal don't love youShe'll cause you sleepless nights and endless painBut if you don't like the rules don't play the gameEvery time that girl walks by your heart will ache your very soul will dieBut love one sided it's just yourself to blameAnd if you don't like the rules don't play the game

You think by now I see the fool I've been given my heart a chance to winWell I do but I don't I will but I won't deep inside I know I'll do againThe hardest thing you ever do is love yourself that gal don't love youWith love one sided it's just yourself to blameAnd if you don't like the rules don't play the gameIf you don't like the rules don't play the game
